To Denis Villeneuve climbed aboard<\/a> as the next James Bond director, another intriguing project lay in his potential to-do pile: adaptation Nuclear War: The Scenario<\/em><\/a>, Annie Jacobsen<\/a>2024 is a book that uses extensive interviews and research to examine minute by minute what would happen if nuclear war broke out. Her latest book is in the same vein; it is under the title Biological warfare: the scenario<\/em>and although it was only released today, it has already been primed for adaptation.<\/p>\n

Diversity<\/a> reports that Patrick McManus (creator of Peacock’s Devil in Masks: John Wayne Gacy<\/em>) secured the television adaptation rights for his production company; he and Jacobsen will create and serve as executive producers Biological warfare<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The book takes a close look at the seconds, minutes, hours and days after the release of a microscopic agent that could wipe out civilization if allowed to spread across the globe. And this is a weapon that is not similar Stand<\/em>Captain Trips, so presumably the show will also include a heavy government-military aspect.<\/p>\n

“What starts as a normal day, six days later leads to the end of the world,” McMamus told Variety. “But ultimately, it’s not a nihilistic show. It is. There’s dark excitement and an exploration of the apocalypse. But there’s a parallel story about the instinct to protect and rebuild. A celebration of community and family. Fulfilling the desire to start the human experiment all over again in the hope that this time it’ll be right.”<\/p>\n

A Variety piece mentions a potential Villeneuve adaptation Nuclear war<\/em>so maybe we will see it on the screens too. No streamer or network blocked for Biological warfare<\/em>but the trade writes that “a TV adaptation will be presented to buyers in the coming weeks.”<\/p>\n
